DPS Tool

this tool isn't even a necessity.

Says someone who's never done Coil.
If a group is not meeting the DPS checks in the end-game content, they need to know why, there's no debating that. It's SE who designed these encounters and chose to include DPS races (and proceeded to pretend that players should think DPS doesn't matter.) If we don't want people to parse, then there shouldn't be any soft or hard enrage in a fight.

And it's a moot point. The people you're worried about, elitists, 99% of them are already using parsers. It's already possible for people to cause all of the problems people are fearing. The only thing this is doing (and I realize SE wouldn't make an official parser, but as someone mentioned earlier, release the API already!) is depriving the decent players of accurate and reliable numbers, and preventing people who are afraid of using third party programs from having actual, verifiable ways to track their improvement and skill.

Weird that we got it that far without parsing the damage. Sould be completely impossible as you say. 2 of our groups are close to enter T9. How can that be without parsing?

So close to enter means wiping on the avatar, the biggest DPS check in the game. One that gets progressively easier as people gear. mhmm.

Also it's not parsing but I'd like to see a t9 clear group speak out against addons, and in particular describe how they phase to Bahamut's Favor correctly without seeing the boss %.
